暖暖I came to Nagoya for Ghibli Park, but unfortunately I couldn't buy the tickets even though I bought them a long time in advance, so I rewarded myself with a good meal to comfort my wounded heart! The receptionist was so handsome, like the male lead in a Japanese drama! I was not impressed when the set meal was served, but when I took the first bite, my taste buds started dancing. The idea of eating three times is very Japanese, and the tea rice at the end is really friendly to the stomach. I like it and give it a thumbs up!

M25***40This place is not fancy, it's quite simple but there were a lot of people waiting in line. I waited in line and found that it didn't take long to be served. The waiter handed us menus while we waited, and then he came to take the order. A few minutes later, I was seated. A few minutes later, the food came. To be honest, I just pointed at the pictures on the menu (not ordering directly) because the menu was all in Japanese. Thank goodness they put the pictures up. The food was delicious. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was still great. I didn't feel ignored, and I recommend any Yabaton store nearby :)

空空CJOnce we were seated, our food was served in no time. This is easily one of the best restaurants (if not the best) and the unagi and grilled eel were the best we have ever had. The fact that the restaurant is not centrally located and only serves eel and nothing else, and still had a queue, even in the cold and rainy weather, speaks volumes about how good this restaurant is.

没有蜡ollingHitsumabushi at Horaiken Main Store near Atsuta Jingu Shrine in Nagoya is commonly known as "Three Ways to Eat Eel Rice". The explanation of the three ways to eat is as follows: The first way to eat eel with rice is to pour the eel rice in the large wooden bowl into a small bowl and eat it directly. The second way to eat is to add the so-called "medicinal flavor", which is the seaweed, mustard, chopped green onion, etc. prepared for the guests, and mix it on the eel rice to further enhance the taste experience. The third way to eat is to pour the prepared soup into the rice and make it into soup rice, which can taste the harmony that the first two methods do not have. So the correct way to eat it should be like this: First, divide the eel rice in the large bowl into four portions, the first portion is poured out and eaten directly, the second portion is eaten with medicinal flavor, and the third portion is eaten with soup rice. As for the last portion, save it for your favorite way to eat it again. It is said that the reason why the eel is cut into small pieces for the three ways to eat eel is to make it easier to divide. Of course, the original flavor is the most popular with me.

空空CJI saw the piglets of Yaba Pork Chop all around. I ate here before leaving Nagoya. I waited in line for 15 minutes before going in. I ordered the No.2 popular miso pork chop rice and miso radish. The radish is super strong ~ just right. The pork chop rice is a big portion ~ the fried pork chop is crispy and tasty. The sauce is even better. I highly recommend it ~ I feel very satisfied after eating it. For a popular restaurant, the price-performance ratio is good
